- ¼ cup butter
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- Garnish: fresh thyme finely chopped
Instructions
- Scrub carrots clean and use a sharp knife to trim off the ends and slice into 2” chunks. Add chopped carrots to the slow cooker.
- In a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup, melt the butter. Whisk in brown sugar, salt and minced garlic. Pour over the top of the carrots and toss to coat.
- Cook on high for 3 hours or until carrots are tender.
- Spoon the juices over the carrots, garnish with finely chopped fresh thyme and serve warm.
- If the glaze is too thin, you can add a little cornstarch slurry 30 minutes at the end.
Notes
Peeling the carrots makes them look more appealing, however, it is not necessary. Carrots are healthiest unpeeled because the skin of the carrots contain many nutrients.
